Now Available
Animal lover Jaelene Upton doesn’t expect to lose sight of
her sister when she follows her through a bizarre travel portal, but that’s
exactly what happens when she’s distracted by a cute baby porcupine. Lost, she
asks for directions, only to be nearly assaulted by one naked man before being
saved by another. Her best guess is she’s landed among a native tribe in the
middle of a jungle….but odd reflections and energy sources have her questioning
even that assumption.
Theron misses his home in Loraleaf and the brothers of his
heart, Konala and Rekah. His new home, a lonely cave, is his escape from seeing
the woman he loves happily bonded to Loraleaf’s leaders. When he saves Jaelene
from lawbreakers, he finds himself drawn to her intoxicating curiosity and despite
his best efforts, he falls for her. But no matter what his heart wants, he can’t
offer her anything but safety and a reunion with her sister. Unless…
If Theron can interest Konala in Jaelene as well, then he
would only have two more obstacles to conquer, Rekah and Jaelene herself. But
Rekah, hurt by Theron’s betrayal, wants nothing to do with Jaelene, and when
she discovers Theron’s past love, she refuses to be his consolation price. As the
battle with the lawbreakers grows near, Theron realizes this time, he may well
lose more than his heart.
Excerpt from Eden Discovered:
Jaelene
didn’t know whether to laugh or cry to find herself escaping from one naked man
intent on rape only to run into the arms of another naked man who wanted who
knew what.
“Shhh, we
must be quiet if we don’t want him to find you.”
The
soothing baritone voice did more to slow her panic than his actual words. She
nodded against his arm and he lifted his hand away.
“So in
other words, don’t scream.” She raised her head to look at the face of the man
that held her and sucked in her breath. His eyes were the deepest brown she’d
ever seen. They reminded her of dark chocolate, one of her biggest weaknesses.
His cheek bones were prominent and his lips full. The only imperfection was a
small bump on his nose.
Those lips
lifted slightly. “Yes.”
Wow, she
needed to focus. She didn’t know this man any more than the blond one.
His hold
on her loosened. “We need to leave here. He will soon tire of chasing my
reflection and come looking for you.”
“Your
reflection?”
“Later.
Can you run?”
“If you
mean fast, then no. I think I have small lungs, but if you need help lifting
something…” her gaze moved to his arms. “Never mind.”
He turned
his back to her as he grinned.
He found
her amusing, but she was used to that. No one took her seriously except her
sister and her boss.
He bent
his knees, and spoke over his shoulder. “Jump on my back. I’ll carry you.”
She looked
at his broad back, the muscles tensed for her weight. A glance below it showed
a hard rounded butt and thighs the size of her head. Oh, the man was built. “Are
you sure?” Now that was a dumb question.
“Yes.”
She
glanced back where she’d last seen the blond man headed into the jungle. What
choice did she have? At least this man was nice. And seriously hot.
